Shell and tube evaporator

hybridforced circulationprocess

Overview
Our versatile line of hybrid evaporators processes super-hot, high-viscosity products such as tomato concentrate. The Hybrid Evaporator combines features of forced-circulation evaporators and the T.A.S.T.E. concept, using a series of multi-effect stages with upward forced-flow recirculation and vertical tube-in-shell heaters. Each effect includes a vertical tube nest, a liquid–vapor separation chamber and a recirculation pump.

Key benefits

• Reduced energy consumption through multi-effect design
• Fast to clean and simpler operation, lowering operating costs
• Reduced holding times to minimize thermal damage at high concentrations
• Special inducers deliver high efficiency at very low NPSH, preventing cavitation
• Improved organoleptic properties for high-quality output of viscous products

Versions

• Forced circulation evaporator configuration
• T.A.S.T.E. evaporator configuration
